What do I need and what to expect - Dual Booting Leo4All v3 and Vista on Acer Aspire 4315-2097

Hello Guys,

 

This is my first post here - hope to be here as soon as possible :-)

 

So let me explain my concerns...

 

 

I have an Acer Aspire 4315-2097

 

Intel Celeron M 530 1.73Gz

2GB DDR2 RAM

80 GB ATA HD

Atheros AR5007EG WLAN - don't worry - I know how to get it to work

Marvell Yukon 88E8039 LAN

 

since I am only 14, I have no $ whatsoever to buy new expensive hardware...

 

Now, after running OSX86 in VMWare, I decided I want the real thing... I checked the wiki and luckally, most of my hardware is supported :-)

 

I decided to go with the Leo4All v3 installation.

 

As you probably already know, there is no way I am letting go vista, so I need to have a dual boot set up between OS X and Vista that I have right now (I don't want to reinstall it)

 

I have looked at some guides: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=39253 and http://dailyapps.net/2008/03/hack-attack-d...-windows-vista/

 

They seem quite easy, but I CAN NOT TAKE CHANCES

 

-First of all, my Acer Aspire has a backup partition - not a Vista Installation DVD. People say I won't be able to boot into it... I also have a Boot Recovery disk that I burned (120mb) my question is: IS IT GOOD ENOUGH ? DO I NEED A FULL INSTALLATION DISK ? OR WILL I BE ABLE TO BOOT INTO THE RECOVERY PARTITION ?

 

Please help - I am stuck and not taking chances, even if i backed up all my files...

 

THANKS IN ADVANCE :wacko:
